I had a scary dream the other night. Scary because it didn't seem all that far fetched.
It's the evening of the Vice Presidential debate. Joe Biden has been practicing all month to tone down his "bully" and still seem effective.
Sarah Palin has run out of invective and rhetoric. And she still hasn't been vetted by the press.
For it isn't the vetting that McCain's team "didn't do" that worries me. What worries me is that the press has never spoken to her. She is like a prophet, sitting on high, offering her sound bytes and speeches (written for her) and never has had to answer the tough questions on the spot.
There's something in the air that morning and all afternoon. A question has been raised. There's a rumor. Seems that Little Trig Palin, the Down's Baby of America, has come down with something. He's sick. Or there's a complication with Bristol's pregnancy. She has to be rushed to a hospital. Governor Palin can't make the debate, sorry, family comes first.
And the public eats it up.
This truly scares me:
The woman MUST be vetted. She must talk to the press. One on one. Not with a "pundant". But with actual press. She should be sitting down with Brokaw and Stewart, with whomever and asked the tough questions. Because the public needs to know who the hell she is. Not just what the Bush Speechwriters are giving her to say who she is.
I'm sorry. This is an amazing play out of the Rovian how-to-get-elected playbook. I shudder to think that the Obama camp hasn't divined this yet. But Dems find new ways to disappoint me every other year.
